Division in the Netherlands

The rebels were called “Geuzen” (beggars)

The rebels later used the word Geus as a title of honor

Calvinists who had fled formed a fleet (the Sea Beggars)

They recognized William of Orange as their leader

1572: Battle of Brielle

In the months after, many cities in Zeeland and Holland opened their gates to the Geuzen

The city leaders joined the Revolt and recognized William of Orange as their leader

From the south, Alva’s armies advanced

Battle of Naarden (bloodbath)

This terror caused other cities to refuse to surrender at all

Alkmaar, Leiden, and Haarlem were besieged but held out for months

Leids ontzet

In Leiden and Alkmaar, the Geuzen won

Philip’s money ran out

He could no longer pay his soldiers

Because of this, the Geuzen were able to gain more territory

The Netherlands become independent

In 1580, Philip promised a high reward for anyone who would kill William of Orange

Outlawed

Fled to Delft

In response, the Union of Utrecht officially deposed Philip as ruler

This was the beginning of Dutch independence

Plakkaat (Acte) van Verlatinghe

Plakkaat (Act of Abjuration)

The Union of Utrecht officially deposes Philip as ruler

In 1584, William of Orange was assassinated by Balthasar Gérard

A year later, the Spanish captured Antwerp (the largest and richest city of the Netherlands)

In the north, the rebels held their ground

1581: Act of Abjuration

In 1588, they founded the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands

They appointed William’s son as stadtholder (Maurice of Orange)

From now on, stadtholder was the title for the military leader of the Republic

The war between the Republic and Spain continued for a long time

In 1648, they made peace (Peace of Münster)

Union of Arras
(Unie van Atrecht)

Three southern provinces joined the Spanish side

They stayed catholic 

Union of Utrecht

After that, the rebellious provinces also formed a union (the rebels)
